This is a really rough schedule. Tuesday is our family day as soon as my son gets out of college. Saturday, we have school, but we do fun school, and it is all together. Thursday, my husband works day shift, so we have to take him to work early and don't get a lot of school done. Saturday is movie night, and we may be taking advantage of going to Church those nights to leave all of Sunday free to goof off at the house. Oh, and Tuesday we go to the park to hang out with our friends between 9-10 a.m. So, those days, I drop my son off and come home to take my daughter.

It looks intense, but it is a skeleton. Stuff comes up, and I try very hard to just flow with it. Especially the fun stuff. God bless you!
